D15B7 > D16A8 Conversion....Basicly recreating a Si from a GLi shell !!!@@@!! YEEAAH

[TheSaint]

i can help u tune the D15b7 .. but i got no idea with the Si engine

[~Sp33~]

personally i would go a sohc vtec engine from the 0BD1 range that fits with the stock gearbox ... or just do a B series swap

much better way to go for the same money

Why is that?

D16a8 has the same power, you can also use the stock gearbox.

just buy a eg si, to much hassle and time wasted for like what will feel like 4kw more? what is your intent in the build?

It's not really a build just Swapping engine before D15 leaves me stranded in the middle of no where.......am getting the written off civic Si for cheap. So why not put a little labor in and get me a engine that I'm happy with till I'm off my P's. More aftermarket support for the D16A8/ ZC than the D15B7 as well

If anyone is confused. I'm removing engine outa the Si and putting it into my GLi............will engine harness still be identical?? Wiring engine and mounting it is my biggest worry here, Yo when u guys say I will need to swap the D16 mounts with the D15 ones. What do you exactly mean??

[TheSaint]

the support for the D16a8 and the D15b7 is about the same ... theres heaps of info in america for modding both engines - its not really popular here tho

true man, yeah well the busted throwout bearing is making the D15 sound o so mechanical lol

sick of it now, but still cannot belive a little 1.5L stock engine can take such a beating and only give me common problems that come with age.... no bent valves or fried rings, amazing little beast it is, loves that red area on my tacho

[markismaximus]

loves that red area on my tacho

might be why the motor is stuffed

Lol yeah man, but hey still keeps going Has never let me down so far, but it's time to retire the little beast........alot of other engines from the same generation woulda gone BANG by now. But the Honda D15 lives
